Instructions

Create a kumihimo braid which is approximately one inch longer than you want your finished length to be. Since we are creating a bracelet for a man, the finished length will be around eight inches, minus the hook and loop portion of the clasp.

When you have made the braid one inch longer than the finished length, remove it from the kumihimo disk and cut off excess hemp.

Using clear tape, tightly bind each end as shown in the video.

Onto your kumihimo braid, thread your Pandora-style beads. The center bead will be a tight fit and will stay put in the middle of the bracelet. The Celtic braid beads will have a looser fit and will move about. The two swirl bracelets are also tight and should be placed about an inch and a half away from either end.

Using a sharp pair of scissors or your flush cutters, trim down your tape ends to about one quarter of an inch.

Spread a small amount of E600 on each end of the bracelet, and insert them into the cord ends.

Set aside to dry for a few hours, and then your new bracelet will be ready to wear!
